The Dominion of Targis is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Matthew XIV with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, punitive income tax rates, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 26.765 billion Targanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mattopia. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Targanian economy, worth a remarkable 6,018 trillion Taurgs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 224,876 Taurgs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Restaurants cater to pregnancy cravings, schoolchildren have more trading cards than flash cards in their backpacks, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, and the numbers on the latest spending report are reaching stellar levels. Crime is totally unknown. Targis's national animal is the chimera, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Targis is ranked 302,338^th in the world and 214^th in Refugia for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -446.07 on the Hayek Index.
